LaTeX: indent from second line

Question

I want to indent from the second line.

I want to write in LaTeX something like this:

Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur a         


        

Answer 1

Similar to Ricibald's answer but simpler (it wasn't clear to me in his post which length was doing the job). I was using this for a bulleted list to indent each line after the first:

\begin{list}{}%

{\leftmargin=1em \itemindent=-1em}

\item 

\item

\end{list}
